Suppose I get admitted to a medical school I want to go to by December. I graduate by that December. Can I graduate and then take classes at a university closer to home for the sake of learning? Will I have to submit these transcripts later on? Is this allowed? Will this lead to complications? I am doing this to spend more time with my family and am taking classes because I have 24 unused credits on my MET (as I understand it, these dont carry over to medical school at all, do they?)
 
I dunno, but if you already got your degree, why not just learn from the internet? You know those free lectures that MIT puts out and stuff? It's free, and you don't have to worry about this stuff.
 
Why would it make any difference if you already graduate? You might have to submit the transcript, but why not just take all the classes Pass/Fail, then you don't have to worry about it, in case you slack off. Honestly it makes no difference.

The most important thing that ned schools care about after you're accepted is that you get your degree and you don't get below a C on any remaining classes (and obviously that you don't make the school look bad by making irresponsible public comments or getting arrested). Beyond that, it really doesn't matter.

👍

Or I would just go to a library and just start reading up on stuff and youtube it if I don't understand.

But if you do want to, you can just take them Pass/Fail like hollowman mentioned. Or you can audit them.
